Algoma Looks To Begin Improvements To Wastewater Treatment Plant

The project would replace most of the process equipment located at the plant, which according to the DNR was built in 1938 and received its last major upgrade in 1992. City administrator Jeff Wiswell says staff members are spending portions of the winter working on some of those plans.
